"David, hurry the fuck up" i scream through the phone. "baby, i'm on my way, calm down" "don't fucking tell me to calm down, i'm in labour" i get so infuriated with my boyfriend "baby, i'm sorry, i'll be 5 minuets. sit tight" "ughhhh" i moan because he hung up, and because i'm in labour. obviously. i snapchat quickly "guys, i just went into labour and David isn't even hear" "we're gonna have a little tiny infant in a few hours" i turn off my phone and start breathing heavily, timing my contractions.
I hear the door open "oh thank god" i run up to David and hug him. "let's go" i waddle down to the elevator and we go into davids tesla.
"I am not having this baby in your car" i scream. "good, because that's not happening" David speeds "oh my god, David" i scream angrily.
"hello, my girlfriends name is Elizabeth Koshy and she's in labour" David tells the lady at the front desk and two nurses get me a wheel chair and we go into the delivery room.
"I didn't expect to be seeing you this soon" our OB smiles. "i would like an epidural" i grip davids hand as the nurses do my IV. "okay, sweetie. if you could sit over the side of the bed and we'll do your epidural." i do what's asked and David sits in front of me, holding my hands. "i'm so proud of you" he kisses my cheek.
David pulls his camera out of the diaper bag and starts filming me. "are you seriously fucking filming right now" i say angrily "no" he smiles. "If you don't turn of that camera, i swear to god David" i scream. "okay, alright, i'll stop"
the camera is set up in the corner of the room, filming the birth. "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 and breathe" my nurse says, "you're doing so well" David comforts me. "okay, i can see a head" the doctor smiles "okay, one last big push" he looks down and pulls her out. "oh my god, oh my god" David smiles and looks over at our daughter. "is she okay?" i cry "there just helping her out" the nurse tells me. and then i hear the most beautiful sound, a cry. more specifically, my daughters cry. "here's your baby" the doctor puts her on my chest and David kneels down next to me. "she's so beautiful, baby" he kisses me and then her.
"she weighs 6.7 pounds and is 16 inches long" the doctor tells me. "she's so tiny." i smile and look over at my baby. "does she have a name?" the doctor asks us. "she does" David smiles and looks at me, my cue to say her name "her name is Harper Eliza Dobrik," i smile at my daughter, in absolute awe.
